The Government of India has launched the Trade Infrastructure for Export Scheme  scheme w.e.f FY 2017 -18 to assist Central and State Government agencies for creation of appropriate infrastructure for growth of exports from the States.

The scheme can be availed by the States through their implementing agencies, for infrastructure projects with significant export linkages like Border Haats, Land customs stations, quality testing and certification labs, cold chains, trade promotion centres, export warehousing and packaging, SEZs and ports/airports cargo terminuses. The Scheme guidelines are available at http://commerce.gov.in.
Under the TIES scheme, financial assistance for a total of 44 export infrastructure projects has been approved during FY 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 & 2020-21 .
